The BMW-owned brand explains it was done just for fun as a play on the company\u2019s typically small cars, although that\u2019s less and less true considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/07\/12\/2023-mini-countryman-spy-video-nurburgring\/\">new Countryman<\/a> will allegedly be nearly 4.5 meters (177 inches) long.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-439323\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"2023 MINI Cooper SE Nanuq White 1 1 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 MINI Cooper SE Nanuq White 1 1 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-439323\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"2023 MINI Cooper SE Nanuq White 1 1 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/2023-MINI-Cooper-SE-Nanuq-White-1-1.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2023 MINI Cooper SE Nanuq White 1 1 830x467\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The XXL-sized charger was painted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/11\/08\/2023-mini-cooper-se-nanuq-white\/\">Nanuq White<\/a>, a color recently introduced for the 2023 Cooper SE. MINI gave it a black top finish to echo the company\u2019s cars with their contrasting roofs. Fun fact \u2013 the massive wheel control mounted on the side of the charger is actually a wheel and tire taken from the real electric hatchback.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a 10-inch screen embedded into the structure, allowing attendees to see MINI\u2019s \u201cNanuq the polar bear\u201d campaign spot. The charger contains a QR code through which people can access the MINI Electric augmented reality filter to learn more about the charismatic EV while they wait for their own electric cars to charge.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called MINI RC charger won\u2019t be a one-time affair as the company intends to take it on a tour throughout the United States. It\u2019ll be temporarily installed at a few dealerships in California \u201cbefore being packed up in a giant cardboard box and stored in the attic at mom\u2019s house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can check it out today and tomorrow near the Los Angeles Convention Center where the show takes place. It can be found at the following address: 698 West Olympic Boulevard at the corner of Flower Street. To use the charger, look for a parking space with the \u201cOUT-FUN THE COMPETITION\u201d spray-painted within. These parking spots also have signage on both sides, with pointing arrows and the \u201cCHARGE THIS WAY\u201d message.<\/p>\n<p>Source: MINI<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVERTISEMENT And now for something completely unexpected, MINI has built an unusually oversized charger that stands approximately 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall.
